About
Glauber G. Cirino is a Brazilian atmospheric scientist whose research sits at the intersection of Amazonian climate dynamics, aerosol physics, and biosphere-atmosphere interactions. His work has made significant contributions to understanding how atmospheric aerosol particles and clouds influence carbon cycling in the Amazon, most notably demonstrated in his highly cited 2014 study (139 citations) revealing how changes in net radiation driven by aerosols and clouds affect net ecosystem exchange in this critical biome. Cirino has also been instrumental in establishing long-term observational infrastructure in the region, contributing to the development of a permanent Raman lidar station in central Amazonia — a powerful tool for continuously monitoring aerosols and water vapor. His longitudinal datasets, spanning multi-year aerosol optical property measurements from 2011 to 2017, have provided rare and invaluable ground-truth records for one of Earth's most pristine continental environments. More recently, Cirino has evaluated satellite-based remote sensing products like MODIS Dark Target and examined how large-scale climate phenomena such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation modulate Amazonian aerosol behavior. Collectively, his research deepens our understanding of how a changing climate interacts with the Amazon's atmospheric and ecological systems.
